Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A real life adventure which happened 60 years before the famous "Midnight Express" was filmed... By Dimitrios This book almost smells of another long bygone era. The writer was a British captain of the Indian Cavalry in Mesopotamia and during a mission to sabotage the Turkish telegraph lines near Baghdad in late 1914, his little plane suffered damage and he was caught together with his pilot. He spent the next four years in various Turkish prisons, first at Baghdad, then in Iraq, after that at Afion Karahisar in central Anatolia and finally in Constantinople. He describes his life as a prisoner of the Turks with humor, pride and a heavy dose of philosophical attitude sometimes. He had a keen eye not only for his surroundings but also for the Turks themselves, their habbits and national characteristics, the various people then living within the realm of the decaying Ottoman Empire, and of course his two attempts to escape. The Turks of 1914-18 could be both extremely brutal towards their low rank captives but also friendly and tolerant towards British officers, turning the imprisonment of their enemies into a profitable business since they allowed the British officers to receive money checks from home, buy their own food and even do shopping excursions in the nearby city! After spending some years in captivity, the author found out that his transfer to a Constantinople prison would offer him the best chance for an escape, and he managed not only to reach the Turkish capital but also to contact a charming and very clever British young lady who provided valuable help to British POWs. This is a very nice small book, although it was not meant to be a serious history of World War I in Mesopotamia but rather an adventure read for a young British audience of that era. It contains no maps but only two sketches of the author's escape attempts and also two photographs of his funny and very good disguises.
